Personal Vote

This was a personal vote (or conscience vote) which meant MPs could decide how to vote on their own, rather than having to follow the party position. Learn more on the official Parliament website.

Unusual Hansard Data

Shane Jones appears to be recorded in the Hansard as voting both for and against. This sometimes happens when a Member has a proxy arranged to vote on their behalf but then also attends the vote themselves anyway. In most cases this is noticed soon after and the voting record adjusted. You may want to check the original Hansard sources for this vote.
